I believe missing body-parser for express. Add

var bodyParser = require('body-parser')

as well as

app.use(bodyParser.json())

Express has added support for body-parser without installing an additional package

app.use(express.json({ limit: '10mb' }));

In order to get access to the post data we have to use body-parser . Basically what the body-parser is which allows express to read the body and then parse that into a Json object that we can understand.
